Topic: South American bands without reviews Posted: March 14 2015 at 11:35
This thread is to expose some bands which are flying under the radar. From Brazil, with the cajones to make a double album for their debut, Vivalma, the album Human Effect
Next is a band form Chile, Cangaceiro, the mixture of Andean folk and prog rock is not new, but it has not been done to death either.

Hi,
A group called "cangaceiro"?
I'll have a listen ... but the name of the band is a bit odd for something that used to be ... and not exactly entertainment.
(Ed later)
It's actually rather nice and deserves another listen, although considering this "progressive" is an interesting choice. The mix of instruments alone makes it progressive for me, but not sure it would make past the PA definitions.

i cleaned up my quote ... you didn't. And yours is actually not nice at all and because of it I will NOT bother reviewing the 2 bands I was looking forward to doing ... simply because your act is so full of sh*t.
I have, forever, talked about the Brazilian scene, way back to the 60's as being very progressive, even though the mix of "cancao, bossa nova and jazz" is not something that folks here in PA (specially) are capable of understanding, or even bother listening to. I've considered talking about Airto and Flora Purim, Milton Nascimiento, and others more in this place, but it is difficult, because folks here are so damn stuck on crap and a "style", that they have lost the ability to even bother listening to anything else.
I have never, found a band from South America (specially!!!) that I have not enjoyed ... but of course, you wouldn't know that and would not even read this far to be man enough to apologize! I will only review these things on my own time in my own place. PA doesn't deserve it when folks like you say things like that ... and perhaps you should look up the definition of the word cangaceiro ... before you say something to understand what I said!

I actually referred the band Cangaceiro for inclusion here at PA. I am well acquainted with the definition. Your post is not what I am looking for in this thread. If you have something constructive and meaningful to add then by all means post away. Otherwise, dummy up.
Pedro: would you please tone it down? Mr Leary's comment did not deserve such a response. He thanked you for listening to something you feel might be bad. If that ruffles your feathers, then I suggest you write him a mail instead of hijacking his thread.

It's not often I read a post that makes me incandescently angry, but this is one of those times.
Your crassly arrogant generalisations and your uniquely piss-poor ignorance of the people here would be pitiful if it didn't display such a narrow-minded self-aggrandisement of your own value and worth. Climb off that soap-box, sit down, shut up and give your arse a chance.
"folks around here" ... would like you to stfu.
You are not the only member of this forum with South American roots, there are people here who not only hail from that continent, they still live and work there, we have collaborators from practically every country in South America. We even have ex-Admin from Brazil who has more knowledge in his little finger than you have managed to display in all the years you've been posting here. He worked tirelessly and studiously evaluating artists and adding bands, biographies and discographies to this site in several different subgenres while you sat on your backside spouting gibberish, berating the site and belittling its contributors, reviewers and forum posters. But all that is irrelevant to you isn't it? You'd much rather pontificate and rant because it makes you feel important and clever.
For your information we have 144 Brazilian bands listed here, and a further 150 from Argentina, 77 from Chile, 8 from Colombia, 23 from Peru... in fact as far as I recall the only one of the 12 countries that are considered to be part of South America that is not represented here by a Prog or Related artist is Suriname (which is the smallest country with smallest population, so that's not a complete surprise). Strange as it may seem, we managed to find all those bands without your help and without your encyclopaedic knowledge. Perhaps you can bugger-off and find a Surinamese band to suggest. So how many appreciation threads have you started for all these South American bands? And how many of the albums by those bands have your reviewed?
You made a stupid comment and committed an unforgivable sin: you pre-judged a book by its cover by commenting on the band's name before you'd even heard a single note of their music. Poor show, bad Pedro.
To paraphrase a well known idiom: Those than can, do; those that can't, preach.
I think you have out-stayed your welcome here, perhaps it's time you found another play-ground to go play in.
Hopefully we can move forward in this thread. Anyone can post a band to the thread if they are South American with no reviews. We can discuss the bands. We can disagree about the bands merits. We can be adults when we post, a little respect goes a long way.
